Who won the College World Series Jello Shot Challenge? All-time record broken, Guinness World Record set at Rocco’s

In the College World Series, the Jello Shot challenge is as big as actual baseball. While teams have been squealing on the diamond, their fans have so deeply rooted for Roku in the past few years that the competition has become larger than life.

The College World Series’ Jello Shot Challenge requires fans of teams to buy drinks and put them on a team, with the eventual winner being whichever team has the most devoted fan base.

That was LSU this year, and the Tigers loyalists broke records. They actually set the record on June 20, just before their team reached the CWS Finals with over 21,000 jello shots. They didn’t stop there, surpassing 50,000 thanks to plenty of loyal fans, including a Baton Rouge attorney.

The previous Jello Shot challenge record was set at the College World Series last year, when Ole Miss fans purchased 18,777 jello shots. LSU fans have more than tripled. In total, they purchased 68,888 shots in honor of their team.

Unsurprisingly, LSU set the record. Tigers’ followers embraced the event in Omaha, Nebraska, like no other fanbase. If LSU was in the CWS, its fans would show up in droves. Omaha corporations enjoy the purple and gold push.

LSU has made 19 CWS appearances since its debut in 1986 and has won seven national championships since its debut in 1991. Although college baseball is a niche sport, the school has been the leader in national attendance, by far, for decades at home. LSU fans, meanwhile, were so used to making trips to Omaha in the ’90s that many would go to CWS year after year, even without the Tigers.

So, if the Tigers have a long stay in a school’s first CWS appearance since 2017, Ole Miss’s record can easily be expected to go down.

Meanwhile, Baton Rouge attorney Gordon McKiernan purchased 8,888 Jell-O Shots at $5 a piece, breaking the record for shots purchased by one person, on Monday. Todd Graves, who started the Raising Canes Chicken Fingers franchise with its location next to LSU’s campus, bought 6,000 shots to push LSU past rival Ole Miss, days earlier.

All proceeds go to charity, so fans of Tennessee, TCU, Wake Forest, LSU, and more were all donating to a worthy cause and participating in a record-setting challenge.
